Georgia O'Keeffe—Hand and Wheel 1933

Alfred Stieglitz's 1933 photograph, "Georgia O'Keeffe—Hand and Wheel," is a striking example of his signature Pictorialist style. The image captures the hand of Georgia O'Keeffe, Stieglitz's wife and muse, resting on the wheel of a car, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow. The photograph's minimalist composition and focus on the hand as a symbol of touch and intimacy create a powerful and evocative image. The sharp detail and contrast further highlight the geometric shapes and forms present in the scene. This piece exemplifies Stieglitz's mastery of the photographic medium and his exploration of beauty in everyday objects.
